by the application, all NetBSD interfaces are made visible, even
if some other feature-test macro (like _POSIX_C_SOURCE) is defined.
<sys/featuretest.h> defined _NETBSD_SOURCE if none of _ANSI_SOURCE,
_POSIX_C_SOURCE and _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined, so as to preserve
existing behaviour.
This has two major advantages:
+ Programs that require non-POSIX facilities but define _POSIX_C_SOURCE
can trivially be overruled by putting -D_NETBSD_SOURCE in their CFLAGS.
+ It makes most of the #ifs simpler, in that they're all now ORs of the
various macros, rather than having checks for (!defined(_ANSI_SOURCE) ||
!defined(_POSIX_C_SOURCE) || !defined(_XOPEN_SOURCE)) all over the place.
I've tried not to change the semantics of the headers in any case where
_NETBSD_SOURCE wasn't defined, but there were some places where the
current semantics were clearly mad, and retaining them was harder than
correcting them. In particular, I've mostly normalised things so that
_ANSI_SOURCE gets you the smallest set of stuff, then _POSIX_C_SOURCE,
_XOPEN_SOURCE and _NETBSD_SOURCE in that order.
Tested by building for vax, encouraged by thorpej, and uncontested in
tech-userlevel for a week.
logic as used by <machine/param.h> to define constant PAGE_SIZE if
possible.
Also define the minimum and maximum PAGE_SIZE that might appear in
any given configuration (4K and 8K, respectively).
property to avoid gratuitous copying in prom_makememarr().
Have prom_makememarr() accept a NULL pointer, in which case it will return
the size of the array needed to store the memory descriptors.
cpu's who have done so. implement pmap_deactivate() for MULTIPROCESSOR and
call it from cpu_switch() when we are about to switch proces and when we
enter idle().
with this change, i see significantly reduced tlb IPI traffic and fork/exec
bound processes -- such as "configure" -- run significantly faster, upto
15%. i also obvserved a small (0-2%) benefit to CPU bound tasks as well.
bus_space_{read,write}_[1248]() functions, which will allow 16-bit
PCMCIA support to work without additional hacks in MI drivers.
this option is not enabled yet.
Setup a DDB context for paused CPUs by defining a soft trap (T_DBPAUSE)
which uses the generic trap handler code to get the trapframe constructed
and then calls on a debugger-defined `suspend' routine.
To make this work, we now have to use separate handler lists for hardware
and software interrupts as the soft interrupt handlers do not return
an `interrupt handled' status.
Thanks to Matt Fredette for providing an initial set of patches on port-sparc.
given that PROM maps just 4 or 16 this is not going to be a bottle
neck). Doesn't really affect normal kernels, need it for the changed
kernel base address (uncommitted) hack for broken javastation OFW.
Ok by pk.
raise the ipl in the interrupt handlers to the appropriate level. This avoids
interrupt handler interference if one of the devices actually interrupts at
a lower hardware level than the maximum level assined to a device class.
Based on code from Art Grabowski in openbsd.
